When you buy one, ask for the thickest one there is for your engine.

28th February 2007, 19:28

cheers mate rep given !

28th February 2007, 19:29

you should have had your head skimmed when your head gasket went mate, just to make sure it was perfectly flat, cause when it got hot it would have warped! like said above it shouldnt cost much to have it skimmed! hope you sort it all out mate

28th February 2007, 19:31

will do mate if not i will get a new head...

28th February 2007, 19:31

my vts does the crazy rev thing sometimes... and when your drivin seems to hold back for a milly second. then go.... but my fuel pump is fooked so i put it down to that.

28th February 2007, 19:33

also my furio went to 3/4 before fan come on. as long as it doesnt go into red and fan defo comes on. you should be fine

28th February 2007, 19:40

Ok here goes does your car have a sound like water is running somewhere but your not sure and when you put your foot down the car is hesitant and feels like it is miss firing and cutting out, if this is the problem your getting its your vavles and tappets mate they are not set correctly need to be nipped off to the correct setting

P.S You plainly dont seem to know what you are doing with this car why dont you give the guy a call who's number i give you and stop messing with engines before you blow yourself up

i do know what im doing mate i timed it up my self and he said u need a specialist tool ( bull ) u dont need one... and he was going to charge me £100 to just set up the pistons to right level and put belt back on i put the bolt in cam!

i have totaly rebuilt my head so no probs with that.
and also used a feeler gauge to set up the tappits there's no problem with them.
just 2 little probs with it now the ideling & temp

1st March 2007, 13:06

My car had some crazy revving lately.. like when i'd pull up to the lights etc.. then my car got worse. found out it's the fuel injection unit that was buggered. so had to get a new one.
